ONE BOOT THREE WAYS: RAINBOW PRIDE

If you know Dr. Martens, then you know this: we stand for diversity, empowerment and rebelliousness. We don’t care what you do— we just want you to be authentically, 100% yourself. Individuality is what makes the world go round, and we’re here to help make that happen.

In the United States, June is Pride month — a time to celebrate the people of the LGBTQ+ community, honour their equality and remember the Stonewall Riots of 1969. This year, we’re commemorating the month with two special-edition Pride Boots — a couple of bright pairs inspired by the diversity of the rainbow flag and the LGBTQ+ community itself, with a portion of boot sales supporting The Trevor Project. But if you’re not sure how to rock the intense colours, never fear: our San Francisco Market store crew has some ideas. Check out these three wildly different looks — and let us how you end up wearing yours using hashtag #drmartensstyle.

VERONICA BARON FONSECA

I chose this outfit because this is how I would typically dress and I don’t really put in the effort to match. The pride boots have our brand culture of ‘not giving a damn’ and are perfect for Pride or going out to art shows. I like how loud the Pride boots are and what they symbolise; Freedom, and rebellion.

I tied my laces around my boots to keep the tag down and under my pants. I was going for a prideful theme. I love to mess around with colours so I wore some bright colours on my clothes, face and hair. I’d wear this outfit on a nice walk in San Francisco and to make a monotone outfit more outrageous. I like that these Pride boots have a clear sole and lots of colour on them.

ALEXA CIOFFI

I’m wearing all-black so that the Pride boots stand out more and are the centrepiece of my outfit. I decided to also add in a headband with bat wings on them to give the outfit more flare and a creepy spin. Who says rainbow can’t be paired with a darker aesthetic?

The pride boots, with their fun rainbow design, just scream “PRIDE”… and that’s why they’re perfect.

For five decades Dr. Martens have been worn by workers, for whom they were designed, but also by rebels and non-conformists of all stripes. #DrMartens instashop.drmartens.com
